Your Pic of The Day

So I finally made it out to Upper Stillwater Dam. First time I've been there. I found it pretty impressive.

The Reservoir level is quite a ways from flowing over the spillway right now.

The best part of the day is that I DID NOT get a performance award from the UHP Trooper driving an SUV. Or at least I never saw him again....

Over weight for the truck or trailer or what? The rigs are all on the light side, honestly. The truck pulled it like a dream.

Towing capacity. But I have been wrong before. Not that I care, I was just being a smart arse.

Edit: 37,000lbs capacity. I’m sure that trailer isn’t even close to that.

You should tell him to drive an ultra4 for more than one race and then learn to save a car for the finish. 😂😂 One hell of a spread though.

Dude you should hear him talk about how many cars they have. This is less than half of them… it’s insane. Also, El Bandito (the trophy truck) was literally built to screw around in and promote. They don’t even race it. And yeah it has 1100 HP.

I agree on the save a car for the finish part. He’s struggled with that since the Dragon IIRC

Very true.

I think the innovative stuff is mind boggling cool. But working the bugs out and getting comfortable with a car is key I think.
 
Raced the Dynamite Grand Prix at Cache Valley MX over the weekend.

I’ve said it a thousand times. If you want to improve as an off road racer, train on a MX track. If you really want to improve your off road skills, spend some money on some MX clinics. MX training will teach you proper body position, teach you how to brake and corner,etc. Almost every off road racer I have watched charge a corner try and pivot and race like hell out of the corner. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. Brake early, set up for a corner and be on the gas through a corner. This is also why off road racers struggle with ruts. They slam into them and the bike is unsettled when they try and go through it…..or they watch their from tire and not the exit of the rut. If you set up before you are in the rut and are on the gas, your tires will ride the back of the rut instead of on the inside edge causing you to lose balance.




When it comes to jumps off road racers either pull up on the bike on take off or stand up out of an attack position……They don’t flow with the bike. You will see in this video how Jacks overall position doesn’t change much when the bike slams into the 3rd roller. Most off road racers will try and pull back which them pitches them forward.



watch the RMX website for Riley’s winter training schedule down in Mesquite. He is a good trainer and will get you dialed in.
